will go with my aunt today for the weekend in pennsylvania. she has a seminar there and i'm gonna be stuck in her hotel room for the entire time. i'm bringing along books to read, of course, my journal. i'm considering this a "retreat" of my own. hope i don't bore myself to death.

yesterday was very windy. the wind was whipping against our van, forcing you to slow down a bit lest you want to be thrown off the highway. at one point a strong gust of wind actually whooshed into us. then there were flurries falling down making the whole experience very cold at the same time.
